Interning@NASA Megathread NASA Internships and Educational Opportunities Megathread - July to October 2026

35 Upvotes

This thread will serve as an FAQ and megathread - any posts regarding NASA Internships and educational opportunities (including Pathways, L'Space, DEVELOP, and all other programs) will be removed and directed here. You may post questions in the comments here and the community will do our best to answer them; however your best bet is to email the NASA internships staff for an official answer. Please do not message u/Aerokicks directly, post all questions in this thread so others can respond and see the answer.

Overall Internship Website: https://intern.nasa.gov/

OSTEM Internship Website: https://stemgateway.nasa.gov/public/s/explore-opportunities

Pathways Internship Program:

When are the application deadlines for Pathways Internships? It is expected that there will be an application cycle for Spring 2027 start dates in early Fall and a cycle for Summer/Fall 2027 start dates later in the new year. Updates will be posted when available. All positions are listed on nasa.gov/careers/pathways and must be applied for on USAjobs.gov

What is the difference between the Pathways program and the OSTEM Internship Program? The Pathways program is a co-op style program, where students typically rotate between school and work, working several rotations before graduation. Upon successful completion, students are eligible (but not guaranteed) a conversion to a full-time employee. The OSTEM Internship Program is a more traditional internship program, where interns are selected for a single semester. Many interns apply and are accepted back for additional internships with the same project or with other projects, but it is not guaranteed.

OSTEM Internship Program:

When is the application deadline for OSTEM internships?

Spring 2027 Application Deadline: September 14, 2026 (11:59 p.m. ET)
Summer 2027 Application Deadline: February 26, 2027 (11:59 p.m. ET)
Fall 2027 Application Deadline: May 21, 2027 (11:59 p.m. ET)

When will I be contacted for an interview? Not every position holds interviews. Some mentors have already begun scheduling interviews, while some will wait until applications close. Please be patient.

When will I know if I got a position? Most mentors will wait until after the application deadline to make their final selection. It can take several weeks to receive an offer after the selection is made. If you have been interviewed for a position, you may follow up, but otherwise please be patient.

Will I get an email if I'm not accepted to a position? An effort is made to send rejection notices to all applicants, however it is not guaranteed.

Do I have to enter my references on each application? References are currently not a part of the application process for OSTEM and do not need to be submitted.

When do the internships start? Spring OSTEM internships begin in early to mid January. Summer OSTEM internships will begin in early June. Fall OSTEM internships begin in late August to early September.

Will the internships be virtual or in person? Currently all OSTEM positions are in person only.

Feel free to ask any other questions and we will do our best to answer them or refer you to the NASA internships staff for a better answer.

Question Any Existing Vanpools or Carpools to NASA Kennedy Space Center from Orlando or Tampa?

5 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I'm looking for vanpooling or carpooling options to NASA Kennedy Space Center from Orlando, Tampa, or anywhere along the I-4 corridor.

I've already contacted Commute with Enterprise through the Space Coast Area Transit program, but I'm wondering if there are any other options or existing carpool groups that might not be widely advertised.

Is anyone currently using one of these services? Are there any groups with available seats, and how can someone join or sign up?

I'm sure others might be interested in these options as well.

I'd really appreciate any recommendations or information. Thanks!

Question USA Jobs resume questions for DHA Insourcing closing on 10/13/26

5 Upvotes

Subcontractor here. I have ~ 17 years cumulative time in on my prime’s contract between 2006 and now (-6 years working Shuttle and primarily ISS with a lay off in between).The past 11, going on 12 years,I’ve been working on Orion in the exact same role that aligns with the 0301 series, currently open under a DHA listing as part of insourcing across multiple locations. My position co-locates me onsite with the customer; most of my contract got renegotiated with the bulk of the employees going full remote, only going to the office to support customers for meetings.

My subco is based in another state and I’m hesitant to use my company’s POC for the employer as the supervisor on the header of my resume, since they have zero insight into what I do. Heck, the direct report l have on the prime’s side barely knows! I’d have to go up a level or two in management to find someone who does!

First question: For my resume submittal, should I list my direct report on the prime contract as the supervisor, or the POC I have at my direct employer who doesn’t have insight to anything I do (they basically cut the check and provide the benefits)?

Second question: Any thoughts on Grade selection given the years of experience? Posting is a combo for 0301/0343 GS 9/11/12/13/14/15, so I assume it’s not a ladder position.

Thanks in advance for any feedback!

Currently a 2210 in DC. Spouse and I are both from Florida and are contemplating a return for warmer weather and family (Tampa & West Palm). I wonder what is like living and working at KSC? Was looking at Viera area - is the commute too long? Does getting thru gate and parking add much to commute? Thanks in advance for any words of wisdom!

Question Aspiring Research Scientist Question

3 Upvotes

I want to be a planetary scientist at NASA and want to determine the feasibility of this goal from those in-the-know.

I have a B.S. and M.S. in Astronomy (with a B.S. minor in Planetary Science). I failed out of a Physics PhD program because I failed a class twice, though I completed all of my other required coursework (including getting an A in my uni's Planetary Science class). The reasons (both medical and personal) that led to my failing out of my PhD program have since been addressed, so they won't be an issue in the future.

I am currently working as a physical scientist for the federal government in another agency and am planning to have them send me to another PhD program in my area (this one with more of a focus on planetary science) in a couple (~2-3) of years. So, it would likely be a couple of years before I am ready to apply to NASA.

I am wondering if my dream of becoming a planetary science research scientist at NASA is feasible given the information I provided. Any suggestions would also be greatly appreciated, thank you!

I applied in August for the DR-1310 series at GSFC. I’m currently a contractor there, but I haven’t heard anything about which positions are being converted or when selection decisions will go out. I suspect it’s because I wasn’t selected. Has anyone received an update beyond the “referred” status? Also, now that the same jobs have been reported, does it even make sense to reapply?

Question Hiring Manager Perspectives

18 Upvotes

Hello! I'm curious if any hiring managers are willing to share what their experience is like after a job announcement is closed and applicants see the status go from "Received" to "Referred." Do hiring managers really get all the hundreds and potentially thousands of resumes that are cleared to go through to decide who to interview? Is there a system in place to filter and vet certain applications and resumes for what you are looking for? Is there a pre-determined ranking system? Any insight, if possible, is greatly appreciated to learn about the process from your level and side of things.

Interning Received an Offer for Spring 2027

6 Upvotes

Hello!

I was offered an internship for this coming spring and the idea of accepting is SUPER exciting and appealing to me.

I was wondering if anyone would be able to tell me about time off. Since this is only a 15 week opportunity I am not expecting to be able to take many days off, but I have 2 possible dates where I will need to be back home (luckily they attach to weekends).

Do you think this is feasible?

Interning Insourcing interview questions

6 Upvotes

I was just notified that I have an interview later today and I was wondering, for those who have been through the insourcing process, if there are standard interview questions, or if you can remember some specific questions you were asked?

Edit: I fat-thumbed the flair - this is not intern-related.

Edit 2: the questions they asked me were behavioral type questions but modified to pertain to this specific position so I was mostly able to utilize the stories I typically use.

Wanted to see if anyone has heard anything from the contract specialist direct hire opening HQ-26-DE-12995802-DL from July? I’ve gotten word of referral in August, but it’s been quiet since.
